Quite n pathetic little story k going the rounds of the press about Mrs, Clcyeland's first sweetheart The charming lady of the White House has been observed to take great h. tcrcst In newspaper men. Al first we were inclined to think that she was anx ious to have her t0ilcttcs correctly described In tho papers. but now we learn it is because her first love was a journalist, and memory cannot cn- tircly blot out the tender little TO- mniicc of the past. There is n pnthos to the thought that her young afiec- lions were centered about n lofty, proud and inaccessible newspaper being who could not return her love. AInck -dny' So wngs the world and thc ghost of Maud Muller rises to re- mark "it might have been." Just think of it! To-day the beautiful Frankie might have been the proud and happy wife of Mir, Qnill Driver, city editor of the Kalamazoo We,aid, and Mir.

 lips of any in the form of human mold. Who could frame an answer in the form of
 speech; And thou canst, thou never answering

 time
 When thou vast builded? With all the dug-up treasures of antiquity.
 Yes, thou canst speak but other men Have come and laid their ears against thy lips And listened in the silence for voice, And thou hast never broken that silence yet. And wandered down the desert wastes alone; Footsore and weary am come have frod The deserts down as pilgrim to his shrine More have I borne and suffered than'the rest, Further have come and am here. l listen in the silence for thy voice Which will answer what to me and other men Is riddle deep as deepest depths of hell, Which is but conjured thought of mortal

 IL is related that a young Pcroto the only son of very wealthy man, who led a yer, fast life, presented himself one day to u sutdf, and asked him to loan him round sum ot money. He offered the @tt,if as security the se- rious illness and approaching death ot his father. and the inheritance that would follow.

 The sG;Nf utilized this delay by going to the house of the physician named at the time that the latter nlade his visits in the city. He found the servant, and offered him generous gintuity If he would learn from his muster the disease with which MT N, the patient of the physician, wns stricken; whether it was mortal and if so, how many days still remained to the patient. The servant obtained very quickly from his master all that the mrdf desired 10 know. and he went immediately to assure tho latter upon the prompt and fatal issue of th" disease. When the young man re- turned, he found the money ready signed the note for sum nearly double that given to him. and six weeks after paid the debt from the patrimony that hc hnd just received.

WHAT BAKING POWDER SHALL
 WE USE?

This plain question comes nome 10 every house. keeper. We all desire pure and wholesome food, and this cannot be had with the use of impure or poisonous baking powder. There can be no longer a question that all the cheaper, lower grades of baking powders contain either alum, lime or phosphatic acid. As 10th aS we may be to admit so much against what may have been some of our household gods, there can be no gainSaying the unanimous testimony of the official chemists. Indeed, analysts seem to find no baking powder entirely free from some one of these objectionable ingredients except the Royal, and that they report as chemically pure. We find some of the Baking Powders sd- yertised as pure. to contain, under the tests of Profs. Chandler, Habirshaw and others, nearly twelve per cent. ot lime, while others are made from alum with no cream of tartar. This, we presume. accounts for their lack of leavening powder as sometimes com plained of by the cook, and for the bitter taste found in the biscuits so frequently complained of by ourselves.
 But aside from the interiority of the work done by these powders, the phvsiologists assure Us that lime and alum taken into the system i'll such quantities as this are injurious. They are not decomposcd by heat nor dis solved in mixing or baking. They go with the bread. therefore. into the stomach, where their phy ysiological effects are indigestion, dyspepsia, or worse evils.
 The question naturally arises, why do these cheap baking powder makers use these things? Alum is three cents Il pound. lime still cheaper, while cream of tartar costs thirty five or forty. The reasons for the chemical purity of the Royal Baking Powder were recently given in the New York Times in an interesting description oi new method for refining argols, CT crude cream of tartar. It seems that it is only under this process that cream of tartar can be freed from the lime natural to it and rendered chem iealy pure; that the patents and plant for this cost the Royal Baking Powder Company about half Il million dollars, and that they maintain eX- elusive control of the rights.
 Prof. McMurtrie. late chief chemist of the Department of Agriculture al Washington. D. C.. in the interests of commerce, made an examination of this process, and reported upon the results attained in the refined cream oi tartar. The following extract from his report would seem to answer tho question repeated at the head of thi: article, and which is so frequently propounded by the house. keeper: Il have examined the cream of tar tar used by the Royal Baking Powder Company in the manufacture of theiI baking powder. and find il to be per fectly pure, and free from lime in any form. The chemical tests to which have submitted the Royal Baking Powder prove it perfectly healthful and free from any deleterious sub stance"

Some Chinese Philosophy. I.auIHille Commarrlal

There k one highest ultimate prin- ciplc--thc Tac- kcih, or grand ex tremc. This Is absolutely immnterial, and the basis of the order of the universe. From this ultimate principle, opcrnt |. ing from nll eternity, come all animate and imnifnate nature. Ii operates In n twofold way, by expansion and com- traction, OF by ccascless active and passive pulsatioDs. The active ex- pansive pnlsation is called yang, the passive intensive pulsation Is yin, and the two may bc called the positive and negative essences of all things. When the active expansive phasc of the process has reached It's extreme limit, the operation becomes passive and intensive: and from these yibra- tions originate all material and moral existences. Grafton is therefore a perpetual process matter and spirit are opposite results oI the same force. The oDe tends to variety, the other to unity: and variety In unity is per maDcnt and universal law of heing. Man results from the utmost develop ment of this pulatory action and passion; and mans nature, as the higher result, Is perfectly good, con sisting of five elements, namely: charity, righteousness, propriety wisdom and sincerity. These consti- tute the inm0st, essential nature of man; but as man comes in contact with the outward world evil arises by the conflict. When man follows the dictates of his nature his actions are good and harmony results. When he Is uBiuly influenced by the outward world his actions are evil, and discord interycDes. The holy man is one who has All instinctive, inward sight of the ultimate principle in its twofold op- cration for what VIC should call the sight of God, the beatl6c yision,) and who therefore spontaneously and easily obeys his nature. Hence all his thoughts are perfectly wise. his ac- tions perfectly good, and his words perfectly true. Confncius was the last of these holy men. The infallibIe authority of the sacred books results from the fact that their writers, bcing holy men, had instinctiye perception of the working of the ultimate prin- ciple.
 All confucian philosophy is per- vaded by these principles: Firxt-That example Is omnipotent. Secondly That to secure the safety of the en- pire you must secure the happiness of the people. Thirdly--That by solitary, persistent thought one may penetrate at least to knowledge of the essence of things. Fourthly-That the object of all government is to make the peo- pie virtuous and contented.

Several American citizens went to Canada on peaceful mission, and were mobbcd in consequence, some of them sustaining severe injuries and narrowly escaping with their lives. The outrages were even worse than the several against American citizens on the part of Mexico. Is 1t worth while to do anything about itI Does the state department think 1t has any duty in the premises! The Canadian ignorance that forbids such speeches as do not happen to accord with it's littlencss is a disgrace to this continent and uInvoidnbly brings shame to the United States. We are too near to Canada to view such vil- lainous business with indifference.
